This is not really a bug. grisbi used to "recommend" latex-ucs and
tetex-extra, making it install with package managers' default settings.
It has been a suggestion since version 0.5.9-1, and the version shipped
with Karmic will no longer pull texlive when installing grisbi (with
default settings).

You can still install grisbi without all latex stuff anyway, even with
Jaunty. I am not aware of a way to do this with apt-get, but with
aptitude or synaptic user interfaces, you can un-select all tex stuff
and keep only grisbi before starting download. Or alternatively, you can
disable automatic installation of recommendations. This is something you
should do in general if you always want to have the minimum stuff
installed on your system.

Hope that helps,
